The Excelsior band does not propose
to play on the Fourth for the sum
apportioned for its services that day,
$50. This amount, the boys say, will
barely cover the extra expense incur
red by them in preparing for the &C.
casion, and they feel that $50 is little
enough-not an unreasonable price
for their services. It is the least the
band can afford to play for. Cannot
the additional $40 be raised? It is
true that excellent music may be ex-
pected from the drum corps, but one
band is not sufficient.
Of the minstrel show at the rink

this the program was composed of a

with such entertainments. There
was an unusually large audience pres.

THE FISHERIES TREATY

The Probabilities Are that England VIII
Agree to a Reasonable Adjustment OF the
Vexed Question.
WASHINGTON, August 31.-The department.
Of state has not yet been officially advised of
Mr.. Chamberlain's appointment as the royal
commissioner charged with the duty of Of
feeling a settlement Of the questions at issue
between the United States and Great Britain
concerning the fisheries. This govern
ment has not selected the persons who
viii be entrusted with the conduct
of the negotiations IN its interest, yet little
difficulty is expected TO be met In finding
men whose breadth of view and legal acu-
men viii insure a proper presentation of the
interests of the United States and an
agreement honorable in terms and
satisfactory to the whole country.
Secretary Bayard viii make It a
point on the question at issue that cur rep
resentatlves shall present an undivided
front. He believes there can be no doubt as
to the power of the president to appoint the
American commissioners, as he is cOusuUu-
uOnally authorized to initiate instructions
ana treaties with foreign countries, subject
80 ratification by the senate. The exact in
strucGOns Of the commission have not been
defined. Generally 1t will consider all of the
questions now at issue between the United
States and Canada arising from the con-
hicting claims of the two countries respect
ing the fisheries, but whether the result of
the negotiations If successful, viii be a new
treaty or an amicable agreement now in
operation, could at present be predicted.
The negotiations with Great Britain have
however now reached such a phase that
Secretary Bayard is encouraged in the be-
lief that a final adjustment of the questions
which have vexed the two nations since the
expiration of tine treaty of Washington is
near at hand

Odist church, died this afternoon at i've
minutes after 3 o'clock at his home, No. 30
East Eighty-First street. The bishop was
taken Ill with heart trouble a month ago
vixen IN Liverpool. He sailed Immediately
for New York, and has been under med
zeal care since his arrival here. Dur
ing the last three days the bishop had

Hatfield. A daughter, of Chicago, was the
one absent member Of the family. He re-
manned unconscious to the last.
Bishop E. G. Andrews, now presid-

chanicsbUrg, o., viii probably preach the
funeral sermon. The funeral services are
expected 10 be held at st. Pauls church,
corner Of TWenty-secOnd street and EOdrth
avenue, on Thursday. A telegram was sent
to Bishop Andrews shortly after the death
occurred. Bishop Andrews and the deceased

dained as bishops at the same
time, IN 1872. No arrangements have
yet been determined upon for the inter
ment.
Bishop Harris was one of the pillars of
the Methodist church. He was born in
Mansfield o., November Is, 1907. He re-
ceived a classical education at NOrWalk sem
mary. he began his career

ceeding the late war, he took
an active part in the discussion,
writing books, pamphlets, etc, on the sub
ject. lie was particularly active IN discus
sion at the time the Southern MethOdists
seeded from the church on the ground of
disagreement on the slavery question. He
had circumuavigated the globe and visited
many lands in the interest of the missionary
work, which developed greatly after he be-
came q bishop.

a Big Mortgage.

SAN FRANCIsCO. August 31.-The Central
Railroad company has fled document IN
the recorders Office which mortgages near
ly, if not all, the visible property of that
company. The property decided in trust
goes to secure the payment of the interest
and the principal of 10000 $1,000
bonds redeemable fifty years from October 1
1886, and drewing6 per cent. interest per
aunum, payable semi-annually. The dOcu-
meut. as applicable to other sections of the
state, has been fled in five counties before 1t
was placed on record here, but public atten-
ton was not drawn to it. The main fact dis
closed is that $40, coo, OOOwOrth of bonds were
authorized to be issued IN January 1850, to
pay floating debts, bonds to run for thirty
years, and IS, GOO 600 worth We're issued in
October, 1885; $4,000, COO worth more were
authorized to be placed on the market, and
S5,OOO,OOO worth Issued to redeem outstand-
ing bonds of previous issue. Then
followed the agreement now on record to Is
sue the 10000 bonds of the denomination of
81, 900 TO mature fifty hears hence. 1t is
thought that the money is needed by the
company to complete projected roads.

Fearf1I Foresf Ere.

KOEIILER, MICH, September 2.-Terrible
forest fires are raging in this vicinity and
immense damage is being done to standing
timber and to logs and ties. A large crew of
men are fighting big fire two miles south
west from this place. A strong northwest
wind carried the flames into lot of logs
owned by LOveiess Biancy, yesterday, burn
ing about 5000 feet OF logs and 1900 cedar
ties in less than two hours, causing a loss of
$4,000. Over 10000 logs and $4,000 ties are
now surrounded, and 1t is very doubtful If
they viii succeed in saving any in this sec
ton. The prevailing drought Is the worst
known for years. Not a drop of water has
fallen since July 4, and the ground is terri
bly, parched. A large meadow owned by H.
I. KOehler caught fire about six weeks ago
and is still burning. The soil is a rich
black muck, and holes two or three feet deep
have been burned into 1t, and all efforts to
put the lre out have been fruitless. All veg
citation is scOrched, and late crops are a total
failure.

no END OF Gas.

Indiana Comes to the Front With the
Greatest Flow OF Natural Gas on Re
cord.
LOUISVILLE, KY, August 29.-Twenty-five
miles from this place down the Ohio river,
and upon the Indiana side, the Union Gas
company, Of Louisville, has struck a mag
nihcent flow of natural gas at a depth of
400 feet. 1t has been known for years that
gas existed in small quantities in the re-
gion mentioned, the flow from one
well on the Kentucky side having been uti-
lied in the salt works of Mr.. @. p. Morgan
for three years. Other companies have
been boring for several years past
on the Kentucky side in the hopes Of finding
a powerful enough flow to pipe to Louis
vile, but without success. Major William
j. Davis, geologist of the Union company,
and a gentleman of ability and high stand
ing in Louisville, states that according to
his calculations the TOW OF gas amounts to
at least 200 cubic feet per second, which
would amount to about IL 600, 600 cubic feet
per day. "Of course my estimates are not
precise" he said, ''but / feel assured that
the dow is not less than 100000 cubic feet
daily. The greatest flow of natural gas in
this country is from the Karg well at Find
lay, Ohio. There the flow is 100000 cubic
feet in tWenty-fOur hours. I do not believe
the flow from the Karg well exceeds Ours."

A GRATUITOUs INSULT.

A snide little Mexican Official at PasO del
aEorte Adds Insult to Injury by Striking
United States Consul Brigham.
WASHINGTON, D. O., September IA tele-
gram was received to-day by Indian Com
missioner Atkins, from Indian Agent Cow
art, at FL Paso, Tex, under date Of August
81, and in It he states that he arrived there
several days ago to recover some horses
stolen from Indians of the Mescalero reser-
walton. The horses, he says, are held in
Paso Del Norte, Mexico, in custody Of the
Judge of letters, Mr.. Tubio. After pOstpon-
ing the case upon one pretexI or another for
several days he promised to give me a hear
ing yesterday. AT the appointed hour, with
United States Consul Brigham, I appeared
at the court room, with witness, but Judge
Tubio did not come nor send any ezplana-
tion of his absence. We then went to his
residence to ascertain when we might expect
action. Nothing occurred that could be con.
strued as offensive but as We were leaving
and were on the street, Judge Iubio fol
lowed us and struck Consul Brigham from
behind. The conduct of Judge IublO has
been disrespectful throughout the case. ]

the matter sent to the state department

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, August 29.-Chas.
ID. Kennedy, third lieutenant OF the United
States steamer ''Bear," now cruising in the
Arctic ocean, writes to his father, under date
of Port Clearance, July Is, and gives faint
hopes that some of the crew of twenty-five
men of the whaling bark Napoleon - of
this port, lost in the Arctic in the summer of
1885, may yet be alive. In his letter
Liutenant Kennedy says: "On our
arrival here yesterday We learned that
on the Sth of June last an old Indian
came on board the whaling bark
Hunter and gave the captain a piece OF
cedar on which was carved the following in
rude letters: ''1SS7-J. B. ", Blk. Nap
Tobs. Gv;" on the reverse side: Sc, help
come New" The belief here is
that James B. Vincent, who was
one of the crew of the bark ''Na-
poleon" when she was wrecked IN 1888,
is still alive and that he sent the message.
They interpret 1t that he is ten miles south
of Cape Novain, Siberia. Tobacco gv'' is
a request that the Indian who
brought the message be paid. "Cape
NOvarin is about 400 miles from here and
we leave here to-day for that place to find,
if possible, the poor unfOrtunates."

President Harris, OF the Northern Pacific,

ed the Law.
WASHINGTON D. c., September The
secretary of the interior has received from
President Harris, of the Northern Pacific
Railroad company, a communication dated
August %, IN which he states that he is adj
Vised that Special Agent Frost, of the gen
eral land office, has closed certain saw mills
which were manufacturing lumber cut from
public lands, for the construction OF the
Cascade branch Of that road, claiming that
the work now being done does not
come under the head Of original
construction" as contemplated by
the law. President Harris states
that this timber Is required for tunnel now
in process of construction and for snow
sheds on the line now IN operation, and that
il is clear that the company has the same
right to cut timber on the unsurveyed lands
for these purposes as for bridges and ties.
He asks that Agent Frost be directed not to
interfere with the contracts. Others have
not been mOlested who are cutting timber
from lads adjacent to the line Of the road.
the commissioner of the general
land office for report, IN re-
spouse to which Acting Commissioner
StOckslager transmits a telegram from
Agent Frost, In which he states that ths
agents of the Northern Pacific company
and number of saw mill companies are
rapidly devastating the public lands OF their
valuable material without regard to law or
the rules and regulations of the land depart
meut, and unless at once put a stop to the
damage to the government Will be lrrepar-
able. The acting commissioner recommends
that the attorney general be requested to at
once take such steps as may be necessary to
fully protect the interests OF the government.
Acting upon this suggestion Acting Secre-
tarV MuldrOW has requested the attorney
general to direct the United States attorney
for Washington territory to take prompt
action in the matter, having due regard 10
the rights of the railroad company under
the law.

negro. A violent card issued by prominent
negroes was published in the LHdeae-APpeat

SO and said the case was not analogous to
that Of the negro. There was no further eZ-
